You’ve got a job. Maybe kids. Maybe school. And 1,000 other things to worry about – it’s hard keeping up with all the stories coming from practice baseball camp in Florida. We’re here to help. Let’s take a look at the news that made news this past week that was in Cardinals spring training. Story: […]

So week 1 of spring training is off. And the biggest story? Imo’s Pizza. Because why wouldn’t it be. When Deadspin’s Drew Magary called out the venerable chain (not by name, but we know who he’s talking about) a ‘war crime’, it sent St. Louis into a fit. It was our own blue and black […]

Maybe you’re already on Errol Morris week over at Grantland. But if not, you’re in for a real treat.

Jaime. When you look him up on Baseball-Reference and scroll down to the always fun ‘similar pitchers’ feature, and see his top result, you can’t help but chuckle. It’s Mark Prior, because, of course it is. Remember – Baseball-Reference isn’t Sports Pickle or The Onion – they’re not trying to be funny. This is just […]

The news is coming fast and furious from Jupiter, Florida. Why don’t we take a look at the news that made news this past week in Cardinals baseball. Story: Kozma is going to catch. #HOTTake: I wonder if Peter dreams about being a 5M/yr SS in a place like Houston or Minnesota when he goes […]
